Fall Festivities.

We FINALLY had a really good busy week. It's the first one in a long time. We just kept on keppin on from Monday till Sunday. 

Do you guys remember that less active family that we gave the blessing to and then a guy got arrested? Pretty sure I talked about that last week. So I think I told you guys about Jake, but this e-mail interface is too confusing to go check. Jake lives at the Weldon's and we invited him to take the lessons and be baptized the other week. Well, turns out he's actually reading the Book of Mormon. He even borrowed that old lady who went to the hospital('s? not sure how to do that plural) glasses so he could read it. Usually people just hum and haw and make excuses, but he went out of his way to read which to us is basically a miracle. I am so hopeful that the Gospel will be able to bless his life, and his girlfriend's life. We may not be able to make much of a difference in the whole family, but if we can help the kids make a change in their life, then it will be so worth it. BREAK THE CYCLE!!

Dawn is starting to come along, she just needs a little bit of a push. She's so close. I think I told you guys about Dawn. She's the one who said, "I don't want to be made from the rib of a man, Adam can keep his s#!&" As inappropriate as that is, it's sometimes refreshing to have investigators that are a little more rough around the edges. She's been asked to move out of the place she's staying at, which gives the ward an awesome opportunity to serve. We are very much looking forward to seeing her progress. 

We got to go to the ward Fall Festival this Friday which was awesome partly because of the good food and festivities, and partly because the Powers are now in Bentonville First ward! That was their first ward activity and they had a blast. Square Dancing and all. This is going to be a hard ward to top. 

Just so you guys know, transfer call are this Saturday, so don't send anything to the Bentonville address after Thursday just in case. I'm hoping I'm here through Christmas though.

So here's the two for this week, I can't remember what I sent, and like I said earlier, this interface is awful and for some reason I can't find the e-mail I sent last week so I'm sorry if I sent the same two last week, haha.

This first one is Elder Reese, me, and the Most Interesting Man in the World holding the Most Interesting Book in the World. The Ericksons kindly donated that to our apartment. Oh, also a giant bag of popcorn. Ignore my exceeding chubs. 

The second one is me and the Bentoville water tower. It's nothin special, but it was a photo op, plus dorky pictures in helmets are always great. On a side note, that entire parking lot and those buildings in the background are completely demolished now; Walmart is putting in a neighborhood market or something. Cool Beans!

Love you all!!
